OTOY Forums

Hi Octane experts, I need your help!
I have three big OCS scenes, each one contains many material nodes. I would like to merge these scenes into one new OCS file, without having to re-setup all the materials by hand.

I'll try to explain it better
I have:
Maya scene A --> OCS scene A (with 50 materials tweaked)
Maya scene B --> OCS scene B (with 50 materials tweaked)
Maya scene C --> OCS scene C (with 50 materials tweaked)
Maya scene D (which contains A, B and C)

I want
OCS scene D (with all 150 materials previously tweaked)

Is there a way I can do it?
Thanks!

since the last version (2.57) you can lasso-select multiple materials and save & load them all at once...

Care to elaborate?

If you created your materials as separate nodes or macro nodes, then you can box-select them all and save them in an .ocm file, which you then import in another project.

If you just edited the .obj node (the "embeded" materials), then you'll have to save them one by one (right click on their icon in the node inspector) and import them one by one.

Yeah I figure that, but the problem is that all the connections are gone...
